Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on Bucky Irving

Irving ranked RB12 vs. Panthers; 85% snap rate, favorable matchup with Baker's return.

Matthew Berry ranks Bucky Irving as running back 12 this week against Carolina, highlighting his elevated role and favorable matchup. Irving had an 85% snap rate last week (a season high) and has gotten 44 touches over his past two games. Carolina allows the fifth-most yards per rush before contact and is bottom-five in fantasy points allowed to running backs. With Baker Mayfield expected back for the Buccaneers, Berry believes the entire offense opens up, but it will still run through Irving. The floor appears to be 15-22 carries, and Irving catches the ball well, which should be utilized more with Baker back.
